The reason our bakesale did so well is the prices were lower than those shitty chocolate catalogs and we didn't have to settle for 25% of the funds raised...we got nearly 100% and made more money...a lot of these parents are business woners, hwo could they not figure this out? I guess they were used to the same old, same old...

Oh, hell yes. "But we've *always* done it this way!!" You should have seen the faces that first Halloween carnival I did. I got the records (what there were) from the last one and was just bored to tears with what they did. So, me being me, I talked to a mom who painted. They had a stick to toss rings at. I had a four foot Dracula with a stake through his heart to toss rings at. I turned all the games into Halloween themed events. It struck me as being so profoundly obvious...but it sure wowed everyone else.
Did you know that if you have a bowl of grapes in water that the kids have to reach into to grab a prize and call it "The Eyeball Game," you can actually make a full grown woman retch? The kids thought it was a howl. The parents were going to storm my castle with farm implements and torches.
